Resumen:
In this paper I propose to reflect upon the interaction between art and politics through two episodes that reveal some of the dynamics of the process of construction and consolidation of the South American (and Argentine in particular) artistic system. Between 1897 and 1910 two projects were put forward for the foundation in Rome of an academy of fine arts to welcome South American pensioners. The first was presented by Enrique B. Moreno, Argentine plenipotentiary minister in Italy, with the support of Italian sculptor Ettore Ximenes. The second was conceived by the Argentine, Brazilian and Chilean ministers (Roque Sáenz Peña, Alberto Fialho, Santiago Aldunate), who presented the idea to their respective governments to be implemented on the occasion of the 1911 International Exposition in Rome. Through the analysis of these actions, I will examine how different political and artistic actors joint their common purposes, so as to recognize (in their homeland and abroad) the centrality of the artistic field for the development of their nations. In addition, I will delve into the place Rome occupied in the map of the artistic-diplomatic relations of Italy and South America, since it was the city from where collective ideas that longed for a unity of Latin America arose.
